turning. This means that the motor is not delivering
any torque.
AMT can be used with benefit when initialising units
where the user wishes to optimise adjustment of the
frequency converter to the motor being used. This is
used in particular when the factory setting does not
sufficiently cover the motor.
For the best possible tuning of the frequency con-
verter it is recommended that AMT is performed on
a cold motor. It should be noted that repeated AMT
runs can cause heating of the motor, resulting in an
increase in the stator resistance RS. As a rule, how-
ever, this is not critical.
AMT is performed as follows:
Start AMT:
1. Give a STOP signal.
2. Parameter 107 Automatic motor tuning is set at
value [2] Optimisation on.
3. A START signal is given and parameter 107 Auto-
matic motor tuning is reset to [0] when AMT has
been completed.
Complete AMT:
AMT is completed by giving a RESET signal. Pa-
rameter 108 Stator resistance, Rs is updated with
the optimised value.
Interrupting AMT:
AMT can be interrupted during the optimisation pro-
cedure by giving a STOP signal.
When using the AMT function the following points
should be observed:
- For AMT to be able to define the motor parame-
ters as well as possible, the correct type plate
data for the motor connected to the frequency
converter must be keyed into parameters 102 to
106.
- Alarms will appear in the display if faults arise
during tuning of the motor.
- As a rule the AMT function will be able to mea-
sure the RSvalues for motors that are 1-2 times
larger or smaller than the frequency converter’s
nominal size.
- If you wish to interrupt automatic motor tuning,
press the [STOP/RESET] key.
NB!:
AMT may not be performed on motors con-
nected in parallel, nor may setup changes be
made while AMT is running.
The procedure for AMT controlled from the SLCP:
See section entitled Control unit.
Description of choice:
Select Optimisation on [2] if you want the frequency
converter to perform automatic motor tuning.
108
108 Stator resistance RS
(STATOR RESISTAN)
Value:
0.000 - X.XXX
✭Depends on choice of motor
Function:
After setting of parameters 102-106 Nameplate data,
a number of adjustments of various parameters is
carried out automatically, including stator resistance
RS. A manually entered RSmust apply to a cold mo-
tor. The shaft performance can be improved by
fine-tuning RSand XS, see procedure below.
NB!:
Parameters 108 Stator resistance RSand 109
Stator reactance XSare normally not to be
changed if nameplate data has been set.
Description of choice:
RScan be set as follows:
1. Use the factory settings of RSwhich the fre-
quency converter itself chooses on the basis of
the motor nameplate data
2. The value is stated by the motor supplier.
3. The value is obtained through manual measure-
ments: RScan be calculated by measuring the
resistance RPHASE-PHASE between two phase ter-
minals. Where RPHASE-PHASE is lower than 1-2
Ohms (typical for motors > 5.5 kW, 400 V), a spe-
cial Ohm-meter should be used (Thomson-bridge
or similar). RS= 0.5 x RPHASE-PHASE
4. RSis set automatically when AMT has been com-
pleted. See parameter 107 Auto motor adaption.
109
109 Stator reactance XS
(STATOR REACTANCE)
Value:
0.00 - X,XX
✭Depends on choice of motor
Function:
After setting of parameters 102-106 Nameplate data,
a number of adjustments of various parameters are
made automatically, including stator reactance XS.
The shaft performance can be improved by fine-
tuning RSand XS, see procedure below.
